Where Colorado ranks as the best campus in the Big 12 according to College Football 26
We have already examined Colorado's top-ranked players, as well as how the team's overall ratings compare in various modes. Now let's go a little deeper.
If you take over Colorado in a dynasty save, you will need to recruit to contend, and that starts with knowing what the Buffs do well and what could be improved.
One grade that recruits will assuredly care about is campus lifestyle. Student athletes sometimes spend five years living in a place, so they want it to feel like home. Everyone loves Boulder, Colorado, and the campus, right? Here is how EA Sports grades Colorado's campus lifestyle in College Football 26
Colorado's College Football 26 campus lifestyle grade
EA Sports gives Colorado an "A-" grade for its campus lifestyle. A solid grade that hopefully factored in the tremendous views of the Flatiron mountains and the many places for students to hang out along Pearl Street.
Where does Colorado's campus lifestyle grade rank within the Big 12
If you're trying to win in recruiting, you have to beat out your rivals for top talent. It helps to have a better campus lifestyle grade than other Big 12 schools if you want to lure certain recruits to your school. So, where does Colorado's "A-" grade rank among the other Big 12 schools?
Colorado, with its "A-" grade, performs exceptionally well compared to the rest of the Big 12, ranking second in the entire conference. Arizona State owns the best campus lifestyle grade, and its "A+" mark is tied for first with six other schools. The Tempe versus Boulder debate can rage on, but both schools offer multiple ways to spend time in between game weekends.

Deion Sanders says he had bladder cancer but will coach the Colorado Buffaloes this season
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado coach Deion Sanders disclosed Monday that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer but after surgery his oncologist considered him cured. Dr. Janet Kukreja, the director of urologic oncology at the CU Cancer Center/UCHealth University of Colorado hospital, said Sanders had his bladder removed as part of the surgical plan. Sanders plans to oversee the Buffaloes this season as he enters his third season at Colorado. Sanders, who turns 58 next month, spoke to the media on the eve of fall camp. He brought his medical team with him to discuss his diagnosis. The charismatic coach returned to campus last week and announced on social media, 'Back and Feeling Great!' He's missed football camps in Boulder this summer amid reports that he's been ill. On Sunday, the production crew of 'Well Off Media,' which chronicles Sanders and the Buffaloes, posted a video on YouTube of the coach's first meeting with the team. In the middle of the clip, there was a scene, dated May 9, where Sanders said: 'I don't know if I'm ready mentally, emotionally. Last night was tough, yesterday was tough, because I had to make a will. That's not easy at all, to think that you may not be here.' Sanders has dealt with issues surrounding his left foot since having two toes amputated in 2021 because of blood clot issues while he was coaching at Jackson State. He missed media day in 2023, his inaugural year at Colorado, after a procedure to remove a blood clot from his right leg and another to straighten toes on his left foot. In March, Sanders signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The Buffaloes kick off the season on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech at Folsom Field. It will be the first season in quite some time that he hasn't coached one of his sons. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders was drafted by the Cleveland Browns while Shilo, a safety, is in camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes went 4-8 in his first season and 9-4 last season, with an appearance in the Alamo Bowl. They have big shoes to fill in replacing Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. ___ AP college football: and

Colorado coach Deion Sanders had bladder removed after bladder cancer diagnosis
Colorado coach Deion Sanders announced Monday that he had been diagnosed with bladder cancer. Sanders held a news conference to reveal the news as Colorado embarks on fall camp ahead of the 2025 season. Dr. Janet Kukreja, Sanders' doctor, said that Sanders had his bladder removed after a malignant tumor was found and that he had been "cured" from the cancer. The Pro Football Hall of Famer had been away from the team and at his home in Texas after spring practice to deal with health issues. He appeared at Big 12 media days earlier in July and declined to answer questions about his health while at the podium during his appearance there.
